Queering Internal Family Systems (IFS) Podcast
A conversation between two queer, neurodivergent IFS therapists who wanted to talk about the things that don't always make it into the training room.
Hosted by Jude Carn and Alessio Rizzo, Queering IFS explores what happens when you bring a queer and neurodivergent lens to Internal Family Systems therapy. Each episode is a genuine conversation: about identity, parts, self-energy, shame, joy, nature, and the places where the model needs to stretch a little further.
Whether you're an IFS therapist, in IFS therapy yourself, or just curious about what it means to do this work in a body and a life like yours, you're welcome here.

Episode 14 - Queering Internal Family Systems (IFS) - Decolonising Internal Family Systems (IFS)
In this episode, Jude and Alessio explore what it might mean to decolonise therapy, with a particular focus on Internal Family Systems (IFS). They reflect on how Western psychotherapy has been shaped by white, Eurocentric frameworks that influence what is considered knowledge, health and healing.
Positioning themselves as white European therapists working within these systems, they discuss how therapy models often locate distress within the individual while overlooking the wider social, political and economic systems that shape people’s lives.
